Jason

When I was in the crows nest I heard Piper, Annabeth, and Thalia talking about Percy...again. I'm guessing that they were trying to reassure Annabeth, that Percy had regained his memories back and hadn't forgotten her. Percy Jackson, the hero of the Olympians. I wonder what he's like. Whenever I ask the Camp-Half blood campers about a story that involves Percy, they would either walk away sad and depressed or change the subject. Staring into the sky I thought about everything else that was on my mind like the Reyna and Piper situation. I know I'm dating Piper now, but Reyna and I had a close relationship that could have led us into dating. Oh gods Reyna's gonna kill me when we land I think to myself.

Ever since I had regained my memories I've felt more complete. I have been missing my home, waking up to the clanging of swords and spears, I missed the neat freak god statue of Terminus yelling at me for an untidy hair cut, I missed my friends Dakota, Gwen, Bobby, Hazel, and Reyna. To stop myself from worrying over these things I flew over to the girls. I looked at Annabeth who looked better then she had in months, considering we are closer to Percy now. I quickly looked away when she saw me staring at her. Waiting for her to yell at me I was surprised that she smiled a little.

Then I thought of what Thalia had told me about Camp-Half Blood and Annabeth were like before Percy disappeared. Everyone was happy, the Pegasus stables were always empty because the Pegasus's were always being flown, the camp fires were full of laughter and mirth, the bonfire was go ask high as it could, the sword fighting arena was full of life. Now, though everything seemed gloomy. Annabeth was usually full of life, almost always smile (except when girls would hit on Percy), her laugh could brighten any room. I found that hard to believe that since all that she did was gloom around camp.

"What do want to ask me Jason" she asks. All three of us look surprised at her.

"Whats Percy like?'' I ask. she thinks for a moment.

"He's like you" she answers. I didn't believe her. I wonder what he could have done to earn so much respect from the Greeks. He probably just stood there watching while everyone else fought and took the credit. I have probably done more humbler and generous things then he had done in his life time.

"whats it this time. Our same aura of power, our incredible fighting skills, or our natural leadership instincts" I asks paranoid. Annabeth looks at Thalia and Piper shocked.

"No" Thalia answers. "you guys are more similar in terms of personality. Both of you are generous, brave, humble, and loyal to your friends. Plus Percy hate being a leader either, but he's good at it. Did you know that when he held the defense against Kornos' army, he had only 40 camper, 30 hunters, and a dozen nature spirits? And he was up against hundreds of thousands of monsters?"

"Really?" asks I still suspicious. "Do you really think that Percy will help me lead the quest" I asks with a raised eyebrow.

"Of course he will!" Annabeth tells me fiercely. I back away a little.

"Sorry" I mumbles quietly "um...can you tell me about his quests too" She shakes her head no.

When Annabeth and I walked out into Camp Jupiter all of the soldiers were armed and ready to defend their home, but when they saw me they all started to cheer and run towards me enveloping me in a huge wave of hugs and slaps to the back.

"Hey, everyone I'm back home" I say. Then I spot Reyna standing in her purple toga with Aurumcand Argentum at her flanking her. She runs up to me and catches me in a tight friendly hug .

"Its good to see you again" she mumbles into my shoulder. "I missed you"

"I missed you to" I smile at her and she pats my back.

"I hope the Greeks have been treating you well" she asks and looks at Annabeth with a raised eyebrow. I laugh at her expression and nod my head. She looked pleased with my answer so did the rest of the soldiers who were glancing at the Argo 2 with guarded looks.

"Enough with the celebrating!" Octavian screeched stepping out of the crowd hold his imperial gold knife and a poor teddy bear in his other hand. His blue eyes crazed, blond hair tousled. "These greacusare obviously here to attack us! What are you waiting for! I understand that all of you are happy that our friend Jason Grace" Octavian sneering when he says my name "has returned. However we must deal with this monstrous crisis. He has come in a warship full of Greek demigods, who have been Rome's enemies for centuries. We cannot allow these vermin to enter camp! Attack them!"

"Back off Octavian" I growl at him. "These Greeks are not vermin. I have been living with them for the last few months, and I have discovered that they are smart, good people with strong warriors. They have come to form an alliance with us, Camp Jupiter, and pick up a few demigods to take with us to Rome and Greece for an important quest"

Reyna gives him a cold glare, but he doesn't back down "Back down Octavian! The Greeks are here to help us with the prophecy of the 7! You know its true" She tells him in a cold steely voice "And the Greeks have obviously been taking care of Jason! If he can trust them why can't we"

"They must have brain washed him! What are you fools standing around for attack them!" He shrills out. The Romans start to regain their postures of attack and defense. The rest of the Greek demigods come out of the Argo and stand next to me and Annabeth waiting for them to make the first move.

"STAND DOWN !" a powerful voice booms. The entire legion freezes. A 16 year old boy made his way through the crowd. He was tall, at least 6ft 1" an inch taller then me, lean, muscular guy who radiated power like an Olympian. He looked like a god in disguise. He was wearing an orange Camp-Half Blood tee-shirt, Dark blue faded jeans, and black worn converse. He had messy jet black hair, tan skin, and green eyes that changed from a deep blue, to a murky mysterious green, and a mix of both. It was the Lost hero of Camp- Half Blood, savior of Mt. Olympus, the son of Poseidon. Standing before me was Percy Jackson.
